My mum rang from Kyiv to tell me, she still remembers him from the Chornobyl years. 76. Didn't know him, but she trusted him with my cousins' health for a decade.

For Kalju Kruusa · 4d ago

Mum rang me about this, not something she'd normally do. Said Meeleolu was the first poetry book she ever bought herself. 53.

For Joaquim Letria · 8d ago

Was literally just reading about that Cunhal and Soares debate an hour ago. Christ.

For James (Seamus) Collings · 13d ago

My father had a few tapes sent over from a cousin in Tipperary, Collings talking on local radio, Sunday afternoons in our kitchen in Sydney. Thurles man, by all accounts. Didn't know much more about him than that but the voice stuck.

For Sylvia Spring · 23d ago

Never got on with her later interviews, too preachy for my taste, but Madeleine Is... was doing something real with sound and city space back in 71. Give her that.

89. Sugar cartel or not, Everglades still paid for it.

For Jill Gomez · 24 Sept 2026

83. Auvergne songs still the best version I know.

For Dolores Sibonga · 16 Sept 2026

Told my dad she died, he just went quiet for a bit then said she gave him his first job reference in Seattle. Never knew that.

For Kenneth Treister (FAIA) · 8 Sept 2026

His buildings in the Grove still matter. Form, craft, light. That's architecture.

For Jackie Glass · 5 Sept 2026

Swift Justice was sharp. She didn't suffer fools. Respected that.

For David Clayton-Thomas · 29 Jun 2026

Spinning Wheel still spins. Hard life, harder music. That matters.

For Mary Tyler Moore · 8 Aug 2025

The fact that MTM Enterprises existed at all, in the 1960s, run by a woman and her partner, breaking every rule about what got made and who made it. Ahead of everything.

For Sir Roger Moore · 7 Aug 2025

The Saint made him. Bond made him famous. But UNICEF made him matter.
